African homophobia is a heritage left behind by the European colonists.

I'm glossing over a lot of material and making some broad generalizations, so to anyone who reads this: don't read too deeply into my explanation...

They are called "repugnancy clauses", and they're still largely extant. They basically made it so that any tribal practices deemed "repugnant" could be banned by the colonists on a whim. Homosexuality was once practiced widely and openly throughout sub-Saharan Africa alongside polygamy. These were also European practices basically up until Judeo-Christian tradition started.

^ LOL, I was waiting for some bullshit like this.

I'm sure the homophobia that exists in the Middle East and Asia is ALSO the result of Western colonists!!! I just know it! It HAS to be!!

Oh, I'm sorry. Hatred must have popped out of the ground with no historical background. My bad. Never mind the fact that Africa never had a sense of legislation as it exists today if it wasn't for colonists either, or that the word "sodomy" didn't exist in any African tongue until colonialists came.
